Li Shimin's trip to Jiuhua Mountain is not a whim, but a long plan, the year before last, Li Shimin has announced in the court to Jiuhua Mountain for summer vacation, but an accident broke Li Shimin's plan, that is, the appearance of Merton using saltpeter to make ice.

To tell the truth, although Jiuhua Mountain is a summer resort, it is also relative, only a little better than the scorching heat of Chang'an City, but the mass production of ice cubes makes Li Shimin sit in the palace, and it is extremely cool, so he is naturally no longer willing to suffer.

In addition, Empress Eldest Sun was not in good health, and a large amount of ice made the environment in the house extremely comfortable in summer, so it was not done this year.

However, in the second year, when the Tang Dynasty was conquering Tuguhun in the west, Li Shimin needed to sit in Chang'an City, dispatch grain and grass, and command the overall situation, but he did not succeed.

And this year, the Tang Dynasty has a smooth wind and rain, the country is peaceful, and the honeymoon of Modon and Princess Changle is Li Shimin's promise to the eldest grandson queen, so this trip to Jiuhua Mountain is possible.

And the time is set for September. At this time, the weather is suitable at this time, the autumn is high and cool, all kinds of animals are fat and healthy, it is a good time to travel and hunt, the weather has just turned cool, Li Shimin can't wait to announce the plan to travel.

Tai Chi Hall.

"Your Majesty, this year's Datang wind and rain are smooth, and there are no natural disasters raging, and now the autumn harvest has been completed in various places, and it must be another bumper harvest year." Above the court, Fang Xuanling was bowing down to report to Li Shimin.

Of course, how can the whole world be smooth, this is thanks to the secret technique of killing the well and the proposal of the flood discharge area provided by Merton, which has greatly increased Datang's ability to resist floods and droughts, coupled with the method of controlling locusts, the three major pests of agriculture have not posed much threat to Datang.

"Yes, there is Lao Zhong Aiqing!" Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction, if it is peaceful today, his plan to prepare for a trip naturally has sufficient reasons, even the most picky Wei Zheng did not say that it was not.

"Not only is the wind and rain smooth, even the yield per mu has increased significantly, with the improved seeds and pesticides produced by the Mo family, it is expected that this year's grain harvest will increase by at least two percent, and the people of Datang are blessed." The big Si Nong Su Lingnon on the side said excitedly.

Isn't the bumper harvest of agriculture the credit of his farmer, and the people of the world have no worries about food and clothing, which is the lifelong wish of his farmer.

Even if the officials were unhappy with Merton, they couldn't help but nod secretly, Datang had such a bumper year, and the Mo family's contribution was indeed great.

The Ministry of Civil Affairs Shangshu Dai Xuan arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, now the Ministry of Civil Affairs also has good news, although the Guanzhong Plain has returned farmland to forests and reduced arable land, but my Datang's field has increased year after year, and even the commercial tax has skyrocketed by fifty percent. ”

Especially in Chang'an and Luoyang, where the Mo family has the most far-reaching influence, the rapid development of industry, the proportion of commercial tax revenue has risen sharply, and there is a vague trend of surpassing the field endowment. There is no need to envy Master Shen anymore.

"Good!" Li Shimin suddenly smiled and said, now that the treasury is sufficient, no one will say anything about his travel expenses.

Subsequently, the six ministries of the three provinces reported to Li Shimin on this year's situation one by one, and of course there were more good news, after all, no one wanted to offend Li Shimin's interest at this time.

Li Shimin nodded and said: "Today's situation is really the best situation since the founding of my Tang Dynasty, and I hope that all the Qing will continue to encourage each other to create a prosperous era for my Tang Dynasty." ”

"Your Majesty will certainly not disappoint Your Majesty's expectations!" The ministers arched their bodies one after another.

After Li Shimin looked around, he nodded with satisfaction: "After I came to Jiuhua Mountain, there is a prince in the court, and I hope you will help." ”

"The crown prince is in charge of the country!" The ministers couldn't help but be shocked in their hearts, they had already heard this rumor, but when Li Shimin announced it in the court, there were still many courtiers frowning.

"Your Majesty, the prince is young, he still needs to be exercised, I am afraid it is difficult to be qualified for the important task of supervising the country, now the brick road from Datang to Jiuhua Mountain has been built, and you can go back and forth in a day, Your Majesty is far away in Jiuhua Mountain, and you can also control the court remotely." Du Chuke on the side wrote.

"Yes! Nowadays, the brick road is extremely convenient, even if it is a storm, it can be reached in time, and it will not delay the government at all. Wei Zheng also bowed.

"Yes, if it was not wrong for the prince to supervise the country before, now the brick road is convenient, Jiuhua Mountain is not too far, the prince is still young, and please ask Your Majesty to lead the government."

Many officials played one after another, asking Li Shimin to control the government remotely.

The head of the hundred officials, Li Chengqian heard the opposition of the ministers, and couldn't help gritting his silver teeth, clenching his fists, and his eyes showed a trace of unwillingness.

Li Shimin waved his hand and said: "I think that at the beginning, Emperor Yang of Sui went to the south of the Yangtze River three times, but he always controlled the government, but because of this, he delayed the government and how many major events, so that the world was corrupted, how could I repeat the mistakes of the past, and although the prince was young, but when I was as old as Li Chengqian, I had already joined the army and went to Yanmen Pass to relieve the siege of Yang Guang. ”

"If the jade is not cut, it will not be made." The ministers couldn't help but be speechless for a while, this is the three-character scripture that Mo Jiazi just made, which was openly used by Li Shimin in the court, and the courtiers had nothing to say.

"But ......," Baiguan frowned.

Li Shimin saw that the hundred officials still had doubts, and couldn't help but smile loudly: "Even if the prince is young, isn't this still assisted by you, if there is a major matter, you can report it to me, and other matters are decided by the prince." ”

"Yes!" Only then did the hundred officials bow down and receive the order.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian immediately showed a trace of excitement and said: "The child will definitely not live up to his father's expectations." ”

Li Shimin took a deep look at Li Chengqian, as the courtiers said, now that the brick road is convenient, he is not too much of a problem to control the court, first, he wants to spend a vacation away from the government with the eldest grandson and empress, and secondly, he wants to cultivate Li Chengqian's political ability, and as the successor to the throne, he must be familiar with the court.

"Retreat!" With Pang De's sharp voice, the matter of Li Shimin's trip and the prince's imprisonment was officially determined.

The court has just decided on the trip, and there is an uproar in the harem. Li Shimin's trip to Jiuhua Mountain, in addition to the eldest grandson and queen, who will definitely accompany him, there will be a few places for other concubines, none of the concubines in the harem are excited, after all, they are often in the palace, and which one does not yearn for the outside world, one by one can't help but try their best to please Li Shimin, and want to seek a place to travel with Li Shimin.
